I started another thread a while back asking about Jacobs ball bearing chucks, found a new Vertex instead on Amazon but it is still not available.
I am still looking for a decent ball bearing chuck with a JT3 mount, found a used one (Jacobs 14N) in great shape for under $100, the chuck is attached to an mt2 arbor and the seller can not verify if it has a JT3 mount, I asked him if he can see JT3 or K3 engraved anywhere on the chuck, according to his reply :
Hi, I have looked at the chuck and can't find anything engraved on it. Sometimes it will say what kind of mount it is on the shank but it doesn't say anything there either. I don't think it is a threaded mount but not for certain.
What I need to know is, do all Jacobs14N( 0"-1/2" Capacity) come with JT3 mounts or is it possible that the arbor is threaded? he is selling the chuck as is and is not willing to remove the arbor.
Your help is very much appreciated.
